It was a fantastic performance. Everyone who watched the game watched a fantastic game, an amazing game from both teams. It's so exciting to watch this type of game. My team I think played so well. In the second half we were fantastic against a team that is so difficult when they are up on the score. I think the control was amazing and the performance was amazing. The feeling now in the changing room from the team is that we dropped two points.

What did you say to the referee at the end?

I congratulated them, because to show the character they showed, it's true that in this moment it was difficult to know if they were right. Then in the changing room I confirmed they were right in every single decision.

Sometimes people complain about them, not me because I many years ago decided to stop complaining about the referees, but I think when they are right and show character, it's important to recognise and congratulate them because it's a very difficult job for them.

What were your thoughts on Dele Alli's yellow card for simulation?

I think it was a foul before, against Son, but in that moment I think it's instinctive that you fall down, but ok the rule is to get a yellow card. Of course, nothing to say now. He made this and now we move on.

You felt both penalties were fair?

I watched. If Lovren doesn't touch the ball it's clear offside, but the moment that Lovren touched the ball he's not offside, he's on. Then the second one and it's clear how Van Dijk kicked Lamela inside the box, it's not controversial, it's not polemic, it's nothing wrong.

It's an amazing decision because the referee and the assistant were so focused. Congratulate them. They were very difficult decisions in that moment.

What did you make of Harry Kane's character to take the second penalty after missing the first?

He's one of the best strikers. He was calm. He can miss a penalty or a chance, but he has the personality. To score 100 Premier League goals is because you have big, big balls. If not it's so difficult.
